Alabama is looking to land another elite defensive back in its 2013 recruiting class
and as always, the Crimson Tide coaching staff is not hesitating to recruit players who have already pledged their commitment to another school.

The latest committed prospect to receive a heavy recruiting push from the Tide is Midlothian, Virginia safety Holland Fisher. The 6-foot-1, 207-pound defender has been committed to the Virginia Tech Hokies since February, took an official visit to Tuscaloosa over the weekend and after spending some time on Alabama's campus, Fisher's commitment to the Hokies may be wavering.

According to a report from BamaOnline, Fisher's visit included a full pitch from the Crimson Tide staff on Alabama's record of putting defensive backs into the NFL as well as a trip to Saban's home on Sunday morning.

“The next morning he ate breakfast at Coach Saban’s house," Fisher's mentor Hunter Bottoms told BamaOnline. "He and his
mother loved that. His mother was blown away. I don’t think he knew he
would like it as much as he did.

Fisher will take an official visit to Virginia Tech on October 12 and will make a final decision regarding his college decision afterwards.

“He’s still a Virginia Tech commit," Bottoms said. "At this point, he wants to make sure
he gets down to Virginia Tech and does the same thing or whatever they
have planned for that visit and reevaluate things. He’s said he wants to
take the Virginia Tech visit and then take a step back and then come to
final decision.”
